Description

I present to you the emission nebula NGC 1491 as seen from the city of Sofia at full Moon. It turned out that NGC 1491 is quite small for my setup. Its dimensions are 3x3 archmin or considering my resolution of 1.94 per archsecs per pixel - the object takes 100x100 pixels. Stretching a bit more however one can find quite bigger structure surrounding the bright center consisting of more HA regions as well as dark nebula. For sure this is an interesting object for big scopes with higher focal ratio than my own 400 mm.

Clear skies,
Ivan
